MMA Megathread - UFC / Strikeforce / Bellator

[Kompressor]

Silva also had a rib injury going into the fight so......

Sonnen has a habit of getting caught with punches, think Stann caught him with one at the start of the 2nd round, or possibly sometime in the first,

good fighter but definitly not the best, probably would struggle to get in most top 10 pound for pound rankings

[Duzza]

Yeah Sonnen couldn't beat Silva with a broken rib while using enhancing drugs. If/when there is a rematch I hope Anderson kicks Sonnen in the head like he did against Belfort, there is something about Sonnen that annoys me so much.

[Medic]

I think he does a really good job of hyping the fight and himself. If he never made that epic speech post fight, you think he would have been given the title shot (pretty much has it). Had he stayed humble etc, he 100% would have had to fight again before getting a chance for middleweight top spot. Sometimes you need someone like that in the sport, he does a perfect job playing the heel. Silva vs Sonnen II would beat Lesnar vs Mir II in PPV sales imo, if it is built up correctly. Chael will be responsible for a lot of those sales.

Off camera I'm sure he's one of the nicest guys. A lot of fighters have said that.

[Kompressor]

Sonnet is very smart and savvy to the game, no doubt about that,

The first round of the rematch will be interesting,

It'll either end in a KO. or with us all saying here we go again.

I was listening to something that said Silva should be thanking Sonnen no end as for the initial fight and the rematch the hype will be and was generated solely by Sonnen,

1 million ppv buys.

Especially as FOX may well be hyping it too,

[Kompressor]

Nick Diaz has fucked off the conference call thing before the event next week,

This guy has to learn how to play the game.

[Kompressor]

Diaz joins up late.

Says he'd rather of fought GSP but that BJ is better all round than GSP.

Says he wasn't made aware that there was a conference call.

Sent a sly dig at Dana aswell,

Says he doesn't care about the strikeforce belt, "I didn't even put it on, He can have it (BJ)"

[MEIRELES.]

lmfao

Watch what Sonnen does to Anderson. Ground and pound the WHOLE FIGHT.

I rate Anderson's skills but I rate Sonnen's all round game more.

[Medic]

How can you rate Sonnen's all round game better when he only excels at wrestling. His striking is average, his jiu-jitsu is non-existent. Bizarre comment brah.

Stap.

[Kompressor]

think he missunderstands the phrase all round game,

if you think Chael's wrestling outweighs all of Andersons qualities then ok, theres a arguement to be had,

but all round game, (as Rashad would say) c'mon son!

went to the show on saturday, it was a decent event I guess. Not sure how great it was from a technical viewpoint but it's always interesting seeing people beating on one another.

[Kompressor]

Yeah? Who was your friend? There was a guy fighting called Jimi Manuwa who really stood out to me (not that I am an expert or anything like that), who was really popular with a lot of the crowd

[CarltonLeach]

Danea White is one of those guys that shouldn't have gone to the gym.

Just looks pathetic.
